Are you a Vata, Pitta or Kapha?

I have recently been reading about Ayurveda or "knowledge or science of life" from the spiritual texts of ancient India.  The basic principle of Ayurveda is that vibrant health is attained when all aspects of life: physical, mental, emotional, behavioural, spiritual, familial, social and universal, are balanced, as described in the wonderful Ayurveda guidebook and cookbook called "Eat, Taste, Heal."  The three doshas or biological energies,Vata, Pitta and Kapha determine our individual nature. The doshas ensure optimum health when we are in a balanced state while promote disease during an imbalanced state.  Living and eating in a way that balance your doshas (primary and secondary) will lead to a healthier life. This self-test will help you to determine your constitution and will provide some suggestions how to bring balance back to your doshas.
